Fox News vs. The Muppets

[J.E.D]

You can't make this stuff up. This country is in real trouble.

It ain't easy being green, but according to Fox Business, Kermit the Frog and his Muppet friends are reds.

Last week, on the network's "Follow the Money" program, host Eric Bolling went McCarthy on the new, Disney-released film, "The Muppets," insisting that its storyline featuring an evil oil baron made it the latest example of Hollywood's so-called liberal agenda.

Bolling, who took issue with the baron's name, Tex Richman, was joined by Dan Gainor of the conservative Media Research Center, who was uninhibited with his criticism.

"It's amazing how far the left will go just to manipulate your kids, to convince them, give the anti-corporate message," he said.

...

"This is what they're teaching our kids. You wonder why we've got a bunch of Occupy Wall Street people walking around all around the country, they've been indoctrinated, literally, for years by this kind of stuff," Gainor said. "Whether it was 'Captain Planet' or Nickelodeon's 'Big Green Help,' or 'The Day After Tomorrow,' the Al Gore-influenced movie, all of that is what they're teaching, is that corporations is bad, the oil industry is bad, and ultimately what they're telling kids is what they told you in the movie 'The Matrix': that mankind is a virus on poor old mother Earth."

Will Faux News stop at nothing to deflect news about the GOP refusing to extend the payroll tax cuts for middle class Americans, so they can protect the rich, errrr "job creators"?

They know their senior audience will fall for the Communist bit. Shades of the cold war.

Oil Companies get about 4 BILLION in taxpayer money in the form of subsidies..... PER YEAR!

I get tired of hearing about Solyndra.(sp?)

Was it a one time bad investment? Sure... But renewable energy is a wise one.

What's the matter, is your pussy hurting? They make a cream for that. No, not the type of cream that's usually "applied" to your pussy.

I'd like to see Kermit as a regular member of The Five on Fox everyday. That would be awesome.
